2. Establishing Rules…
Since I have been performing San Antonio dog
training for 12 years I know that dogs thrive in a
structured environment. They want to know what is
expected of them... they want to know the rules. It
doesn't matter what rules you have, just that you have
some. I tell my clients if you don't have a set of rules,
then just make some up.

3. Establishing Rules…
Sit down with the entire family and make a complete
set of rules. Consistency is the key to success, so make
sure that everyone is on board with the "RULES".

4. Establishing Rules…
Last year I had several clients say that their dog was
better behaved after their vacation when the dog
stayed with me. At first I thought it was because the
dog had a lot of exercise and enjoyed being with
friends. When I thought about it more, I realized the
change was probably due to him being in an
environment where there is structure and rules.

5. Establishing Rules…
At my house, while undergoing San Antonio dog
training, we have lots of fun...but we also have
RULES. We sit to get out of the crate, we sit for the
door to open, we wait at the gate to go out, we can't
play in the flowers, we sit to be fed... we take turns,
and there is "no nuisance" barking.

6. Establishing Rules…
Here are my San Antonio dog training pointers on
"RULES":
1. Where should my dog sleep? Many clients ask
me if they can sleep with their dog as I do with
mine. Your dog may sleep in a crate, in a dog bed,
or with your son. It really doesn't matter. With my
personal pet, Sizzle, I have her sleep in the crate
about 20% of the time which helps mix up her
pattern a bit.

7. Establishing Rules…
2. What level of play is acceptable in the
house? You set the standard. Play beyond that is
called "outside play". Put the dog outside when he is
running wildly and knocking things off the coffee
table. They will understand after a while.

8. Establishing Rules…
3. Dogs on the furniture. Either way it's o.k. Or
maybe you allow your pet on the older sofa, but not
those new recliner chairs. If the dog gets on an
inappropriate piece of furniture... say "OFF" and
remove him. He will understand soon enough.

9. Establishing Rules…
4. Where will your dog be when you are eating
meals? How about making a "spot" for him
somewhere that is a designated place in the
kitchen? That way he isn't hanging out under the
table at everyone's feet.

10. Establishing Rules…
Some other "Rules" would be:
Where will the dog eat?
Where will he potty?
What rooms will he be allowed in?
How much time will he be outside?
